San Joaquin County— My‑Clean‑Slate

My-Clean-Slate helps San Joaquin County residents understand their record‑relief options and take the next step with confidence. Submit your information and our team will review your situation and guide you through what comes next.

San Joaquin County accepts mailed expungement filings and uses a predictable review timeline. You must complete the correct county forms, include your case details, and file at the proper courthouse. The District Attorney reviews your petition before the court decides.

ELIGIBILITY (SAN JOAQUIN‑SPECIFIC)

San Joaquin County follows California Penal Code §§ 1203.4, 1203.4a, 1203.41, and 17(b). You may qualify if:

  • You completed probation (formal or informal)

  • You have no open cases, warrants, or unpaid victim restitution

  • Your conviction is eligible under California law (most misdemeanors and many felonies)

  • You completed a diversion program (PC 1000, Prop 36, DEJ)

  • You completed a local San Joaquin County program (e.g., DUI program, probation classes)

San Joaquin County Notes (2026):

  • The court requires proof of completion for probation, classes, and fines

  • The DA’s office reviews every petition and may object if restitution is unpaid

  • Felony reductions (PC 17(b)) are common for wobblers, but require strong supporting evidence

  • DUI expungements are allowed but do not restore driving privileges

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

(SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY)

My-Clean-Slate handles the entire San Joaquin County expungement process:

1. We prepare all required San Joaquin filings

  • Petition for Dismissal (CR‑180)

  • Order for Dismissal (CR‑181)

  • PC 17(b) felony‑to‑misdemeanor reduction (if eligible)

  • Local San Joaquin County attachments

  • Proof of completion documents

2. We file with the correct courthouse

San Joaquin County requires filing in the courthouse where the conviction occurred. My-Clean-Slate files electronically or in person depending on division.

3. The District Attorney reviews your petition

The San Joaquin County DA may:

  • Support

  • Not oppose

  • Object (rare, usually for unpaid restitution or recent violations)

4. The judge issues a ruling

Most cases are decided without a hearing. If a hearing is required, My-Clean-Slate prepares all materials.

5. You receive your signed court order

Once granted, your conviction is dismissed under PC 1203.4.
